Change length of crop marks

Please look into this. This is an awesome feature. Coreldraw overtakes adobe only in imposition feature. This script breaks it

DTP Scripting (google.com)

save the work in pdf without trim mark, then open it in adobe acrobat, go to tool and look for print production then add printer marks, sel trim marks

It's actually shocking that Adobe doesn't make this easy it's a constant production problem.

I have this same issue working at a print company. When you are trying to save paper and get a certain size to fit 4 up on a certain size paper, large crop marks don't cut it. I found that once you make your pdf you can then use the crop tool in adobe acrobat to take off the extra .25 and make your crop marks only .125 which is more economical.

You just go to your tools, choose the crop tool, drag the cross hairs around your piece, then press enter. A dialog box comes up and you enter in .25 for all of your trim edges and press enter again. DONE

It's really easy and none of that other junk has to be done. You have instant shorter crop marks and plenty of bleed.

Hope this is helpful to someone!

I often find it best to make my own crop marks, especially for silkscreen where they need to be rather thicker than usual.

On CS3 it's Filter > Create > Crop Marks. I think CS5 does it with an effect which you can expand and edit as you wish. Just make sure that the crop marks are on the artboard, like this:
